Great tool for WH sites that tells you how much damage you need to tank to survive, whether there's neuts, webs, or scrams. I've done C1 and 2 Sites in a Confessor, so you should be able to do them no problem in a Passive Gila as Meph mentioned. They can handle C3s as well, but with them being nerfed today (losing a lowslot and 20 CPU) you may want to hold off on trying C3s for a while. I'm very paranoid and cautious when it comes to PVE, so I went to the test server to play around with fits, and get used to the site before I moved into our C3 (like 2 weeks ago).
Personally, I ended up settling on a Tengu. That's easy for me to decide on though since I've been around for a while now, and have the skills (SP and RL) to support using it. Even so, I'm still half pooping myself every time I have 2 sleep battleships shooting at me and have had to warp out and back due to my own mistakes. In the meantime, the Gila may still work but losing that low slot is going to hurt it. A Drake seems to be the go to recommendation for people. I can't really comment on it though since I can't even sit in a Drake quite yet.
If you want to get start doing WH sites, the best tip for you right now is to be to bring a friend. Running these sites solo is absolutely brutal, and it takes a while, making it more likely someone will come along and gank you (hence the D-Scan spam). Having two people split the damage, or at least take the aggro in turns, makes things so much easier.
All that said, WH PVE is the only type of 'ratting' I've done that I kind of enjoy. Part of it is I know I'm getting a decent payout at the end, and the other is that I DON'T know what's going to happen in the next few seconds. Definitely recommended.
Long story short: go for it! Start small, and work your way up. Where's there's a will, there's a way, and finally, to quote CCP Guard: 'the best ship is Friendship'.
Grrr.
